About Me

I am Ms. Calderon and I teach Visual Arts at Brooks HS. Some classes I teach include Art 1, Sculpture 1, Drawing & Painting, AP Art History, and AP Studio Drawing. Projects that we completed this school year include sketchbook covers, self-portraits, collages, and paintings, and sculptures of all sorts.

My personal artistic practice focuses on skill building, technical mastery and experimenting with materials in new ways. My art lessons teach these technical skills alongside conceptual frameworks, pulling from contemporary artists and community assets to inform my pedagogy. I look to what is happening in students’ lives, their other classes, and the school community to help create developmentally appropriate art lessons.
